Abstract: An air freshener of the invention includes a rotating box, a fixed base disposed on the rotating box, the rotating box rotating with respect to the fixed base, and a perfume box filled with a perfume, which can rotate with the rotating box. The rotating box has an annular shape in cross section and has an internal space for receiving and embedding the perfume box therein. Air holes are formed in the fixed base for exposing a portion of the perfume box when the rotating box is rotated with respect to the fixed base. The air freshener of the invention is applicable to be used inside a car or a room, and is capable of both refreshing the air and adjusting the release amount of the diffused perfume vapor.

Abstract: A sterilization method and an installation for producing sterile bottles by blow molding sterilized preforms includes, at the spraying station, the flow of sterilizing product atomized onto each preform whose temperature (T1) is less than the condensing temperature (Tc) of the sterilizing product so that a film of mist of the sterilizing product deposits by condensation at least onto the inner wall to be sterilized, and, at the activation station of the sterilizing product of the sterilizing unit, each preform treated in the aforementioned manner is heated by radiation to a temperature (T2) greater than or equal to the activation temperature (Ta) in order to sterilize at least the inner wall of the preform.

Abstract: An air sterilization apparatus for sterilizing air that can include a fan assembly, which may be mounted in an upper-part of a room, and a UVC lamp to emit a UVGI field. The air sterilization apparatus may direct air across the UVGI field to sterilize the air. A baffle may also be provided to shield the eyes of occupants of the room from UVC energy contained in the UVGI field. The air sterilization apparatus may also include an illuminator lamp to provide illumination to a room.

Abstract: A sterilization plant for the sterilization of surgical instruments is provided. The plant includes at least one original building (1) having at least one first process line that extends, at least partly, essentially parallel to a first one (2) of the essentially limiting external walls (2, 3, 4, 5) of the original building (1). The sterilization plant further includes at least one extension module (31) located next to and, at least partly, essentially parallel to the first external wall (2). Also provided are an extension module (31) and a method of increasing the capacity of a sterilization plant.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for the sanitization, detoxification, disinfection, high level disinfection, or sterilization of both the interior and exterior surfaces of at least one object, including interior lumens, channels and cavities within the object. A coupler and interface may be secured to an object to disinfect the inner channels or cavities therein. An object support device may be used to support the object. The pair of support devices may include outlets for deploying aerosols for the application of applied agent. The applied agent may be in the form of any gas, vapor, plasma, aerosol, or other form. The temperature of the object may be lowered to condensate applied agent thereupon. The object may also be washed. Complete sanitization, disinfection, or sterilization of objects in a simple chamber, or in more complex configurations that include, glove box units, processors with built in interfaces for specialty applications, and other application specific designs.

Abstract: Novel dispenser means are provided for mixing and dispensing two-part curable compositions wherein the mixer elements are isolated from the curable components.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of perfumery and more precisely it concerns a device, and the consumer articles associated therewith, for dispensing an active composition into the surrounding space. The device includes an active liquid, a reservoir holding the active liquid, a wick-/emanator structure composed of a wicking part and an emitting part, the latter having an evaporative surface to be directly exposed to the surrounding space when the device is activated and being housed in a moveable housing assembly, activation of the device occurring without need to removing the housing assembly and or the wick-/emanator structure, the device further comprising a rotor arranged in a manner providing for rotation of wicking or emitting parts to allow forced evaporation of the active volatile upon activation of the device.
